    Anybody get out yet??

    My dad and I took my 3 year old out for a morning of pond jumping. We ended up with 5 total; 2 pintail drakes, 1 pin tail hen, 1 green wing teal hen and 1 mallard hen.

  7. After the 2013 deer season, it was my turn to have first choice of which buck I wanted to kill for the 2014 deer season. My buddy Justin (gotcoues) and I were back at it glassing, filming bucks and running cameras. We drew our first choice rifle tags and we were pumped. Early august rolled around and we layed eyes on a buck that I knew I was going to want to stay on and hunt. Other than him, we had some great bucks on camera which I decided not to hunt in the archery season so Justin took advantage of it and killed a great buck that goes 102 and change. Two days later, Dillion, Justins boy, killed a nice 2pt buck. Complete spot and stalk! This kid is a killer!! Justin's archery buck Dillon's spot and stalk coues buck Elk season came quick and having an early archery bull tag I knew I was going to miss 3-4 weekends of watching deer and would really have to rely on our cameras. I finally killed my bull on the 11th day of the hunt and rushed back out to see what these bucks were doing. With the hunt coming fast and not much time left to scout, I made my mind up after a 2 day backpack scouting trip of where I would hunt. We had a good plan and a good buck pretty well figured out. Thursday the 23rd, at about 3pm, Justin and I were talking about the big buck from August and that's when plans changed! We called this "PLAN-E." We hadn't seen the big buck since August but we knew he lived there and he was well worth putting all time and effort into. Friday morning we were very optimistic. We sat in our glass till about 11am only to find a handful of does, 80" buck and a mid 90's type buck. We knew it was only opening morning but still had that discouraged feeling. We knew we needed a different angle. After splitting a beef stroganoff mountain house and a few hour treacherous hike we were looking at the other side of the ridge. It wasn't till around 4 that the first deer was spotted. I started to look at a ridge that I had already been over a couple times and that's when I started telling Justin "I got bucks I got bucks, dude it's a good buck!!" I show Justin where the bucks are as I start getting my rangefinder out and gun ready. Justin tells me "he's a good buck hurry up and get in the gun he's broadside!" I range the buck and he was 465 yards, I start to punch in the numbers into strelok for the MOA correction and realize the elevation wasn't right. I kind of freak out because I couldn't find where I go to enter the elevation. After getting everything set my number was 3.6 so I twist my turret to 3.5. I double checked with Justin that he was on the buck and ears plugged. He said good. I zoomed in on the buck, took a breath, felt calm as ever and the gun went off. "He's down. Dropped like a sack of rocks!" Justin told me. After a short celebration we knew we had to get land marks and get moving so we could get to the buck with some daylight left. We got over to him after about a 45 minute hike and I was pumped. I knew he was going to be my new biggest buck. He wasn't the big one that we were looking for but I wasn't going to be able to let him walk. We taped him at 107 5/8"

    Is this a legit way to hunt?

    The hunt trphyhntr has is managed for quality bucks.... Obviously not you, but a lot of us hunt for quality bucks. A good hunt is great to have but a monster buck is even better! Kudos to whom ever the guide service is! Sounds like some classy people there! Trphyhntr, stick with it, the big buck will show up!! Good luck!

    HELP PLEASE

    Remington's usually come with that pressure point on the front of the stock. If that's the case, pull the stock off and float your barrel. Also, play with the action screws. My Remington's like 40 inch/lbs front and 35 inch/lbs rear.

    Anyone out Bowfishing?

    I parked my rig in June for the year since I've got my archery bull tag. I won't lie, I've been withdrawing from shooting fish!! Can't wait for March to roll around to refil the freezer of tilapia and cats! Then the buffalo will start cruisin at Roosey! After shooting a bunch of tilapia those big 25+ lb buffs are hard to miss!

    cleaning deer - need help please 6A

    Guts? What are those? My buddy and I can have a deer caped and cut up gutless method in about 45 min. It also gets the hide off that meat so the temp of the meat goes way down and less likely to spoil. I highly recommend it!

    backpacks

    Yes you can carry a rifle or a bow. I especially like that when carrying the rifle, the muzzle is pointed up.

    backpacks

    This will be my 3rd season with the outdoorsmans optics pack and I love it! Its super comfortable and can haul weight. I am not very easy on packs and this one has had minor issues (buckles) but I called Cody and he sent me new ones no questions asked. Ive always been an external frame fan. This pack is on my back if were packing in for days or just in and out in a day. I recommended it! Ive had multiple badlands packs and they don't come anywhere near the quality of this pack. Hope this helps!

    Hang on tree stands "All stands are Sold!"

    The way I see it... Gotcoues not only helped olmos sell a stand (possibly 2 in spite) but he also helped the broke college kids of this forum not get ripped off because of his knowledge of these stands and what they truly sell for... So really what is classless? Ripping multiple people off or helping multiple people out?? Ill bet there is a lot of people that "olmos" bought one of these till Justin posted the price of these stands...

    WTB 270 WSM

    The recoil is less than my 300 WM. Id say its equivalent to a 30-06.. My 115lb wife will be shooting my 270 WSM with no problems.. But then again she killed her buck last year with my 300 WM..
